I don't want to hear how you never pick your nose or rubbed one out on this thread or picked up a slumpbuster at 1:45 am. Save your BS for some one else because I will calls you out if I've know you long enough and you say you wanted an all pro team.

But since you have been following the Browns Next Generation since 1999 or whenever yuou started, who was the guy you wouold have wanted number one -- and he HAD to be available with the pick?

I'll be honest as you can see. Some clunkers, some better choices, and some wher ethe Browns actually did what I wanted:

Fuck that – we should just bump all the threads from the Quinn – Thomas draft.

Quote and requote how beloved Philly was – how a drunken JB was hugging everyone there – how Bow kicked up such an embarrassing thread here I mentioned it to him over three years later and he went back in the archives and edited out.

Damn that day is the funniest piece of hindsight ever…. ever….. ever.

And I’m sure it was even worse with ya’ll being orgy style at the draft party.

99- N/A00- N/A01- I wanted Drew Brees somehow in the draft, as a 12 year old kid watching Purdue have a dream season02- Was down to either TJ Duckett or William Green.. 03- I seem to recall wanting Jon Stinchcomb to help shore up our pathetic o-line. Sup Jeff Faine04-Robert Gallery- I always felt the Browns were going to be irrelevent until they shored up the o-line.05-Caddilac Williams, remember hating the Edwards pick at the time, loving it in 07, and then hating his guts in 09 and out06-A. J. Hawk07-Fuck it, I bought into the jamarcus russel hype big time. thought brady quinn was a hack and didn't want any part of him, until I saw that damn pic of him in the hutch browns uniform, and then I felt bad. Loved the thomas pic, and still do08- Lets trade away DA and pick up a 1st and 3rd, and get us Rashard Mendenhall to help an aging Jamal Lewis, who was on his last season09-Was really high on Clay, Maulauga and Malcolm Jenkins. Was disapointed by this draft, but Alex Mack turned into a solid pro10-Suh, Berry, Taylor Mays, Colt McCoy as our young QB of the future.

1999 - Couch2000 - Courtney Brown2001 - David Terrell (swing and a miss)2002 - Ashley Lelie (whoops)2003 - Kwame Harris2004 - Roy Williams, but I REALLY wanted to trade up for Gallery. I also would have been fine with the toothless one.2005 - Mike Williams (HATED Braylon...was convinced he was going to bust - which is why I'm not in charge of an NFL team)2006 - Wanted Ngata, but we traded. Then I wanted Bunkley2007 - Wanted Peterson, but was fine with Thomas (and liked the Quinn trade)2008 - N/A2009 - Didn't really have a dog in this one. Beanie Wells probably would have been my choice, but was fine with Mack. Had we stayed at 5, I would've taken Crabtree2010 - Haden, but also really liked Rolando McClain and CJ Spiller

They're mentioning the whole Spergon Wynn ordeal with the Browns, and making fun of the fact that he was even drafted with a 47% COMPLETION RATE...and Palmer seemed to be in love with him, which is the scariest part. The allure of the big arm and speed :rolleyes:.

Dumbasses....

I don't want to hear how you never pick your nose or rubbed on out on this thread or picked up a slumpbuster at 1:45 am. Save your BS for some one else because I will calls you out if I've know you long enough and you say you wanted an all pro team.

You're so busted dude.

I've done none of those things today. And these are all in my blog. I'll PM ya the link if I must.

But honestly dude, I can't remember shit which is why since June 07 I'm thankful that this place has documented any thoughts I had.

Suffice it to say that I'd have come away a cropper at least 50% of the time with guys I wanted. I wanted Winslow badly, I did not want any part of Braylon, was thrilled with Thomas and was dying for Rey-Rey with many others.

Wouldn't have been close with Clay Jr as he looked like a safety to me at the time of the draft

Still not one to bang them for Mack but I was one who told you to STFU on Veikune as they knew what they were doing.

Actually, upon reflection, I was at a bachelor party at a horse track in Chicago, b/c I recall looking up at the TV every once in a while and wondering what the hell Tennessee was thinking picking Chris Johnson.

To my best recollection, my druthers at the time of our pick,99 - Couch00 - Arrington01 - David Terrell02 - Phillip Buchanon03 - Eric Steinbach04 - I would've stayed at 7, and taken who was left of Winslow or Roy Williams05 - Braylon Edwards06 - Ngata07 - Thomas, but loved the move coming back up for Quinn08 - N/A but wanted to trade up to get Ray Rice (ended up going #55 to Rats)09 - Once Curry was gone at 5, ok with trade down, ok with Mack10 - Good w/ Haden after Berry gone (Suh # 1 but pipedream)

Cannot recall them all, and to "be honest" who we drafted in years 1 & 2 significantly impacted my desires from there on out.

I wanted Ricky Williams more than anyone else to launch the franchise. I also remember (after being convinced from reading some scouts) really wanting Kearse that year.

I know I wanted Brown in 00 (after not getting RW or JK the season before), but after that outside of LT I remember feeling like we needed to start over each draft b/c of missing the boat so badly in the first two.

Like others I did want KW2 and BE at the respective times.

I saw that SSS. I was LMAO at Palmer. Dude was all about SW. The funniest part was when he was talking about to brian Billick, saying how he is so great and he was at Univ of Minny when Billick was with the Vikings, and Billick has gotta know who SW is. Billick looks at Palmer ands says "I have never heard of this guy"... Classic

I guess I'd have to preface by saying that in the early years, 99-04 or so, I watched the draft every year but didn't really follow it other than what I read in the PD and what I saw from actual college games. I don't remember much in the way of pre-draft rankings or who the Browns were supposed to take or needs or anything like that

99 - no idea00 - Arrington01 - no idea though going thru draft lists I do seem to remember liking Dan Morgan and Deuce McAllister that year02 - TJ Duckett03 - i loved Boss Bailey but no idea on his pre-draft ranking, he went in the 2nd round04 - Will Smith05 - Derrick Johnson or Shawne Merriman06 - Ngata or Wimbley so I was OK with the trade at the time07 - Joe Thomas though pre-draft I would have loved Calvin Johnson but he went #2 anyway08 - N/A09 - BJ Raji10 - Joe Haden though I would have given my first born for Eric Berry, in the end the Browns may have gotten the better player

For 2011 I want 1)AJ Green or 2)Patrick Peterson and also, before his value shot sky-high at the combine, Marcel Dareus. He'd be #1 ahead of Green if he's still there but it seems like he won't be.

Billick asks, "what position did he play?"

Classic..

Wonder if Palmer will convince the Titans to bring SW out of retirement :)

99: Trade down, Williams or McNabb... glad they didn't pick up Akili Smith, I hated that dude.00: Arrington01: Seymour or LDT02: Green03: Dallas Clark/Nick Barnett04: Roethlisberger (yeah, I know)05: Trade down for Derrick Williams, was OK about the Braylon deal though06: Ngata, also liked Greenway/Carpenter07: Thomas, loved the move back for Quinn, but was OK with sticking it out and going for Kolb08: I always liked Owen Schmitt from West Virginia09: Knew the trade was coming with Curry off the board, wanted Cushing, was OK with Mack, wanted Laurinitis or Ray-Ray, though10: Haden, had a man-crush on Berry (and it would've been the pick if he had been there)

99 - I really wanted them to get Ricky Williams, although my buddies tried to talk me into Couch by pointing out that his girlfriend was hot00 - Urlacher01 - I don't remember any strong feelings on this one02 - I wanted best RB available, so I was easily talked into William Green03 - No strong feelings here, either. I liked the Faine pick04 - I was hoping for Gallery, then for Sean Taylor, but once they were gone I loved the K2 pick05 - I wanted Mike Williams06 - Bunkley07 - Loved the Thomas pick08 - Would have been nice to have a pick09 - Wanted Rey all the way. I was hoping for him at 510 - Actually wanted Dez Bryant, but was comfortable with the Haden idea all along
